We would like to enter NED - Love Machine into festivals and competitions. There's only one problem, well two actually...us.
While NED is currently a delicious mix of animation and live action (not to mention Oscar-worthy performances from yours truly) it makes it less 'animation-y' to have real people in it.
This also becomes a bit of an issue when the live action is at the beginning. This was deliberate, the whole element of surprise is the transition into the animated world. Unfortunately this also means that when a panel of experts sits down to watch our beautiful animation, the first thing they see is…er… not animated. We would like to think they wouldn’t switch the film off in disgust at that point. We would like to think that they would have confidence that we, as professional animators, would not be so silly as to enter a live action movie into an animation competition or festival. I have to say, we’re not confident that would actually happen.
Therefore, we reluctantly take one for the team and stand aside to make way for less attractive animated versions of ourselves. I know, it’s not going to be easy.
If you would like to keep up to date with our progress, we are regularly (currently every other Sunday) broadcasting live at 5pm (BST) for around 10-15mins.
The next one will be on Sunday 26th July at 5pm British Standard Time (9am PDT, 12pm EDT) where we will be showing our progress and talking sound fx.

Tapocketa’s Live at Five Sound FX
We love broadcasting live, it gives us a chance to show you our progress and get live feedback (if you want - you can just watch - if you’re a bit shy, don’t worry, we don’t see who’s watching - it’s not like a Zoom call - more like a live TV programme).
If you would like to keep up with new Live at Fives, follow us on social media or subscribe to our YouTube channel...
